Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 165 Immortal life is not subject to the coldness of high places, and the mortal world comforts the spirit
There is silence in the hall, bowing your head to listen to the commandment.

"The three of you are the important ministers of my medicine house."

Chen Sheng glanced over the three of them, finally settled on an aging figure, and sighed: "Although You Ye is a first-level alchemist, he has been handling all the big and small things in the medicine hut for so many years. All right, do your best."

He has some regrets, regrets for You Ye, since he was a boy, he has been a man of etiquette, adhering to the ethics of an alchemist, elegant and pure, with a delicate mind.

It's a pity that during the vigorous development of the medicine house, he lacked a bit of vigor and was not allowed to step into the field of second-tier alchemists.

After falling behind, he did not feel sorry for himself, but still burned with light and heat, contributing to the prosperity of the medicine house. When he was debauched in the world, he mostly used his heart to grab power, but he had no intention of arrogance .

"You Ye can be valued by the elders, and he will die without regret."

You Ye's body trembled, his eyes were reddish, and tears flowed down his face. His achievements have not been ignored, and he has worked hard for a hundred years. With this judgment, even if he died, he would still be able to smile.

In Chen Sheng's heart, he had his own steelyard, who cares about how much he has done, who is stealing and cheating, and what happens after You Ye is safe.

He turned his eyes and looked at the second person. The other person was young and stable, with broad shoulders, who seemed to be able to support mountains, and praised him in his mouth: "Shang Qu is outside, and the danger is extremely dangerous. I am a second-level alchemist, and I can restrain myself." With an arrogant heart, you can take on the heavy responsibility of the medicine house, I have already invited the higher-ups, and your appointment will come down soon."

There are talented people from generation to generation, and at this time, he can relieve the burden on him.

This last post, the last shift, is the handover ceremony.

Since then, Yaolu will enter a new era, and a new chapter will be opened by the younger generations.

"Shang Qu is willing to continue to expand the territory under the elder's command."

Shang Qu's heart is difficult to understand, he is delighted to be on the throne, but more of it is sadness and reluctance.

In this generation, all the alchemists were shrouded in Chen Sheng's blessings, and the spirit grass was consumed and never lacked.

This elder sheltered them from the wind and rain for 230 years, and never let the storm affect the peaceful place of the medicine house.

Now, he will recede and no longer manifest, so how not to make people feel depressed.

Chen Sheng stopped responding to Shang Qu, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, but he could accept it after a while. His gaze fell on the last person, and he said: "Zhou Yi, you are very young and talented. Don't worry, the future is yours." Yes, Shangqu has a successor."

It is very difficult to become a second-tier alchemist. Even with the current prosperity of the medicine house, it is impossible to ensure that there will be continuous successors with a long history.

Chance, talent, and luck are indispensable.

It is a blessing for Shang Qu to have Zhou Yi behind him, and he will be able to avoid a lot of worries.

At least, within 200 years, the medicine house has no tendency to decline.

"Zhou Yi bears in mind the elder's teachings, and will practice diligently and work hard in the future."

Zhou Yi bowed and saluted. He was very grateful. He had a deep admiration for this elder. He regarded it as a belief and could be valued by him. It was a great value to be designated as the next successor.

Shang Qu patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder. For a long time to come, the two will support each other to move forward.

"May my medicine house be passed on from generation to generation and prosper from generation to generation. When you are in office, don't care about temporary gains and losses, but look at what will happen thousands of years later."

Chen Sheng looked at the three of Shang Qu, and then took a look at the medicine house. The 36 halls were extremely splendid, the sound of the hall of discussing Taoism was full of vigor, and the censer was full of incense. It was a scene of prosperity.

In this way, he can retreat with peace of mind.

Three days later.

A breezy autumn afternoon.

Two young figures met at the mountain gate of Guangxiu Immortal Sect, looking at the same young, slender body, without a trace of aging.

300 years of wind and frost, it seems that it never existed.

It's like going back in time.

In the mountains and fields, two teenagers met unexpectedly, and they traveled together together. After going through untold hardships, they came to the mountain gate of Guangxiu Xianzong.

It's just that, at that time, he was going in, but now he was going to leave.

"I have a lot of reluctance, but most of all, I still don't give up on you."

"Beyond the frontier, there is a vast world, but it is too strange."

"After going this time, I don't know how long it will be before I come back. I left a copy of my inheritance on Taiping Peak..."

……

Before leaving, Chen Ergou said a lot, including his reluctance to Chen Sheng, his lament at the twists and turns ahead, and his regret of breaking through the sky.

All kinds of emotions are very complicated.

"Come back alive."

Chen Sheng only said this and had nothing else to say.

Although the world is vast, the bond between them cannot be broken even by time.

"it is good……"

Chen Ergou agreed.

From then on, no matter how difficult it is, I will always think about coming back, and I will never fall on the road.

Chen Sheng stood at the mountain gate of Guangxiu Immortal Sect for a long time, watching the figure of Chen Ergou gradually go away until there was no trace left.

He finally moved, crossed the boundary of the outer door, stepped into the inner door, and went to the Heiyuan Great Prison.

In the wind, there seems to be a faint singing sound...

"Floating and dreaming for three hundred years, fellow Taoists are all lonely."

"Immortal life is not subject to the coldness of high places, and the mortal world comforts the soul."

……

……

Black Abyss Great Prison.

This is an important place in the inner sect. All the people who are imprisoned are vicious and fearless. The timid people dare not approach here.

Chen Sheng stood at the door, as if he was facing a giant black beast. The light inside was very dim, and there was a murderous aura rushing out.

"Who are you? Go away if you have nothing to do."

In the dark, a pair of cold eyes noticed Chen Sheng outside.

"I'm here to take up the post."

Chen Sheng said calmly.

Afterwards, an old man with a cold face came out. He checked Chen Sheng's letter of appointment, including his name, biography, prison, etc., and his seal. He found no mistakes and omissions, and said, "Come with me, don't wander around. .”

As he spoke, he walked into the Heiyuan Prison first, and Chen Sheng followed behind.

"Crash..."

Heiyuan Great Prison is chilling and cold.

It was very dark.

Whether it is a prisoner or a jailer, they are all cold, as if they have been immersed in an ice cave for a long time, and they will naturally cool down.

In addition, he also sensed other things.

Those prisoners who were imprisoned were dishonest. They roared madly, shook their chains, and rustling noises. After listening to them for a long time, they would interfere with the jailer's mental thinking, and even their physique would be affected, and they would become thinner day by day.

"Safe, too safe."

The corners of Chen Sheng's mouth twitched, Ergou didn't think well, Heiyuan Prison is safe, but it's obviously not very quiet.

"Old man, here comes the newcomer."

The old man led Chen Sheng to an area, shouted at another old man, and left without looking back.

"Thanks."

Old Chang had white hair, was in good spirits, had clear eyes, and had a gleam of wisdom. He looked at Chen Sheng and said, "Chen Qingdi? It's fine as usual."

He took a look at Chen Sheng's letter of appointment. He was a young man with mediocre qualifications, no relatives and friends who cultivated immortals, and his cultivation was slow. He voluntarily came to Heiyuan Prison.

"Old Chang, what is the layout of the Black Abyss Prison?"

Chen Sheng didn't expect that the cell boss was so kind, he nodded slightly, and started talking casually with the other party.

"There are twenty districts in the Black Abyss, and the front is called "A". The higher you go, the more ferocious the prisoners."

The old Changtou answered every question, and he had good intentions in his heart. He introduced the layout of Heiyuan Prison to Chen Sheng. He was not allowed to wander around, and he would be punished if he walked out of the boundary without authorization.

Also, some unpredictable dangers.

"Our job is very simple, that is to watch over the prisoners, and if we notice that they have escaped from the prison, we just need to report it to the higher authorities. It's just that this kind of thing has never happened once in my whole life here, so we are very free. .”

Xu was afraid that Chen Sheng would be frightened, so the old Chang said afterwards that it was very easy, the work of the jailer was very leisurely, the salary was stable, and he was capable and long-term.

"Then what should I pay attention to?"

Chen Sheng was in charge of the medicine hut before, and at this stage he already has enough things to use, but he is not proud of it. For the old man, the jailer's salary is indeed an objective and stable income.

"Good question. There are three survival rules in Heiyuan Great Prison. As long as you follow them perfectly, you will be able to live until retirement."

Old Changtou's expression became very serious. Prisoners in the Heiyuan Prison are extremely dangerous. They survived the torture of the Law Enforcement Palace, and they will not let go. It was too wasteful to kill him, so he was imprisoned.

This is a group of ruthless people, wicked people, but not good people.

The three survival rules of the black abyss prison.

Don't be curious!

Don't be greedy!

Show no mercy!

This is forged with the blood of many jailers, and it is an iron fact and warning.

"That is to say, as long as you don't leave District A[-], you can do whatever you want."

Chen Sheng had no security concerns. The prisoners in Heiyuan Great Prison had been tortured to death long ago, and they had been immobilized by lock pillars. He could beat them to death with one hand.

What he cares about is the degree of freedom, and he doesn't want to do meaningless things.

"Very well, you are already a qualified jailer."

It's always a joy to be a jailer, a boring and boring job, but the degree of freedom is indeed great.

Feeling that it was almost done, he said: "Finally, I will warn you once again, you must abide by the three survival rules of the Black Abyss Prison."

He checked Chen Sheng's cultivation, and found that his aptitude was indeed low as written in the appointment letter, his cultivation was progressing slowly, and he had only reached the third level of qi refining so far.

If such a person cannot abide by the three survival rules of the Heiyuan Prison, he will have to be carried away the next day.

"I'll be cautious."

For the sake of rationality, Chen Sheng picked up the Taixuan breath-holding technique, improved it, "died" dozens of times, and finally refined it to a state where no one can break through without face-to-face inspection.

Between thoughts and movements, one can adjust the realm of practice at will, so it is reported in a low-key manner.

Low-key.

Chen Sheng was indeed low-key.

He was very quiet in Heiyuan Great Prison. He placed a grand master's chair under the window and lay down on it.

A ray of light came in through the window, fell on him, and also sprinkled on a white flower.

It was planted by Chen Sheng. He used a small teacup, filled with some spirit soil and a spirit grass seed, which soon germinated and bloomed.

For an alchemist, this is a very simple matter.

"Shang Qu has just ascended to the position of elder, will there be some things that he can't handle?"

Sometimes, Chen Sheng would also think of the medicine house, after all, it is a place where he stayed for two or three hundred years, so he is not really emotionless.

"Why do I think these..."

It's just that, soon, he will cut off such distracting thoughts and live a peaceful life in his own home.

In the Heiyuan Great Prison, he had nothing to do, he lay down and accumulated mana.

According to his idea, if he pushes his mana to the limit of the Great Perfection in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he will be able to swallow the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Great Pill and enter the Golden Core Realm in one breath.

Since then, he has climbed to the pinnacle of practice in the frontier, transformed from a chess piece to a chess player, and tried his hand at the heroes.

"I can't see through."

In District A and Eleven, the old Changtou observed the new jailer, not because he suspected anything, but because... he was too idle.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Chen Sheng was a little weird. Generally, new prison guards would have an uncomfortable symptom when they first arrived.

That is... dysphoria and depression!
The environment in Heiyuan Great Prison is too cold and depressing. When normal people come, they will have some abnormal emotions.

But Chen Sheng didn't. This man's mood was very strong, so he sat down, and chose a sunny place, planted flowers, and had a leisurely time.

"I have a magic method, and I can live forever."

"I have a magic method, and I can live forever."

"I have a magic method, and I can live forever."

……

Chen Sheng used to be leisurely and leisurely, but at this moment, his tranquility was broken, and there was a faint spiritual thought, rambling in his mind, full of bewitching sounds.

I have a magic method, can I live forever?
How ridiculous this is.

The more advanced the practice, the more difficult it will be. Longevity is the great way, but it is too narrow to accommodate two people. Hundreds of millions of sentient beings are just stepping stones, without the fruit of the Tao.

"The new boy, why didn't he move at all? Could it be that I have been imprisoned for too long and my spiritual sense has weakened."

In a certain prison cell, Daoist Dapeng, who had a strange figure and a face like a big bird, muttered in his mouth, and a little doubted himself.

He saw a newcomer coming to District A and Eleven, and suddenly became energetic, like a cat teasing a mouse, adding a touch of brilliance to the boring days.

Since you are a practitioner, using cultivation methods as bait will never become obsolete.

He and a group of inmates used this to manipulate people's hearts, and they really killed a lot of prison guards.

"No, I have to do another trick."

Seeing that Chen Sheng didn't move, he thought that his spiritual sense had weakened and could not pass through the suppressive force of the prison cell to the outside.

"Changsheng Tianzun descends to the mortal world, believers come and kneel quickly to meet him."

"District A16, Room No. [-]."

Taoist Dapeng bit his finger, started to write and draw in the prison cell, formed a formation, stepped on his feet, and left footprints as pressure objects.

His mind sank into the formation, stimulated his spirit, broke through the shackles of the cell, and passed on the secret to Chen Sheng.

"so annoying."

Chen Sheng frowned, ignored the other party, and could only stand up and walk towards room No.16.

"Oh, I still can't sit still."

Seeing this scene, the old Changtou sighed. After all, Emperor Chen Qing couldn't bear the temptation and fell headlong into it.

He didn't stop it.

What should be warned and what should be said, he has already said it before, and he can only say that his fate is like this and cannot be changed.

and also.

This is unstoppable, once he stops, the bewitched people will think that he is coveting the method and snatching the opportunity.

"This seat uses a little magic method, and I can play with people's hearts between applause."

In Room No.16, Taoist Dapeng was excited, like a bloodthirsty hunter.

Next, he will use sharp lies to tear apart the opponent's psychological defenses, pull him into the abyss, and then die in regret.
